Trole or no Trole that is the question?
Is Mac still begging to keep his job?
Common man! Nuff with this teaser crap.
Either provide accurate info with facts to back it up or GO AWAY!
It is very odd how you are so passionate about sticking up for Slade.
If you don't see the difference between repetitive threads about people posting their views on a football message board and a person who intentionally posts false information to get people riled up then there is no point in continuing this discussion.
I ran a very large internet message board for a long while (some BBI readers have emailed me that they were members too) that dealt with real trolls and real shitposting. Most of this is really low-key trolling effort and not really harmful.
I'm "passionate" (I'd used the word interested) about proper community management and moderating and think banning people that slightly irritate you is bad for any community.
In my opinion, you should be banning people for being verbally abusive, threatening, stalking/doxxing, spamming and constant and overwhelming shitposting.
you babysit children by not allowing them talk politics.
Yet, allow a clearly unsubstantiated thread to remain in clear view on the forum thread listing page. Are we doing this simply to say that BBI "had it first" on the off-chance that Mcadoo IS indeed fired in the next few days?

Name another sports website that allows political discussion?
As for Slade, at one point, he was nailing it with his "asshat" stuff... that's why we cut him slack for so long. We don't want to scare off legit asshats.
bbi isn't a sports website. It's a community of people that come to talk about sports AND life in general. If you want to be a sports website, maybe start by not allowing fake stories that you know are fake?
I think he’s full of crap& has been for awhile but no one is twisting your arm to click on his thread. There are a few posters that I never click on their threads because I know it’s a waste of time. I’m one that thinks that political posts should be allowed as well. I think the site is diminished without it especially when the Giants are not worth spending too much time on. Nothing to back this up but I think banning political reduces viewership because sometimes that’s all there is that’s interesting. No one makes you click on a thread,

Not a sports site(it's a wine site), but the political discussion is often most interesting. Check it out - ( New Window )

I'm not in the sports website business, so I don't know.
However, I do know THIS website is knowingly and voluntarily displaying information that Mcadoo is gone. That seems a lot more invasive and disruptive than people having a political discussion.
BTW, I'm not advocating for political discussion; I hate politics. Just pointing out the irony.
There's good news and bad news with political threads. You are right, there are a core of really good posters that like them and truly want to discourse.
Unfortunately, there are an equal number of posters who park themselves in an intractable place on political threads and polar opposites jump in and it takes it back and forth spinning out of control and turning into a nasty name-calling brawl. This derails these threads and spills over into the rest of the threads on the board.
In my opinion, you should be banning people for being verbally abusive, threatening, stalking/doxxing, spamming and constant and overwhelming shitposting.
I agree but I also agree people should follow the rules of the board. If not then they should be banned regardless of whether or not you agree with the rules.

Is this a hint at a new BBI feature?

No, the guy had me change his handle and he's emailed me from time to time over the years.

It is impossible to curtail.

happened to Rich in Houston? He was at least entertaining, and dragged an Eagle around the Link. That required more guts than almost everyone here.

I did. Thanks.
Nobody that posts here is good at ignoring anyone that bothers them.

These board Nazis wanting to ban everyone and calling anyone that says something contrary "trolls" is ridiculous.

So I've noticed... ;)
Didn't used to be this bad, but...
